The Red Mansions

Chapter 913 Jin Yang: Look at the one who wronged you...

In the hall
When Li Shu saw Jia Heng, he bowed his hands and said, "My lord, there is news from Youzhifang Hutong that the supervisors of the Guozijian want to gather a crowd to make trouble recently."

Shen Fang, governor of Liangjiang, dared not order Lu Chaoyun to send people to monitor Jia Heng, the governor in Jinyi, but Jia Heng sent people to keep an eye on Shen Fang's staff. Come here to report.

Jia Heng looked up at Li Shu, and said softly, "Why are they making trouble?"

The scholar failed to rebel for three years, and all he can do is to attack the government office, and of course he may also besiege his mansion?

"There are rumors in the Guozijian that the imperial court divides the selection of scholars from the north, the south, and the middle, and the new province of Anhui is established. I don't know whether it is the southern province or the northern province. Maybe it is the central province." Li Shu said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Jia Heng frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "Governor of Liangjiang's yamen want to help the scholars?"

Li Shu nodded and said, "It seems so."

"Let's watch the situation quietly and observe the reaction of the scholars." Jia Heng said in a deep voice.

This Shen Fang should not have used this method to discredit the imperial court's plans, otherwise, when the emperor asked about the crime, Shen Fang, who was already guilty of the crime, would definitely be unable to eat and walk around.

Therefore, Shen Fang seemed to have another reason, and for a while he was a little puzzled.

In fact, this kind of self-directed and self-acted matter is not easy to speculate.

Jia Heng was thinking, picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip, looking at the circled tea soup.

Even if those prison students are making trouble, he can still let Li Shouzhong come out to calm the public opinion, and then...

Thinking of this, Jia Heng put down the teacup, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth on his quiet face, and he suddenly realized.

What a Shen Bing, this is a bitter trick.

Not only disgusted him, but also picked himself out, and acted like a good boy to the emperor, killing three birds with one stone.

Jia Heng put down the teacup and walked towards the inner hall of the back house. At this moment, Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue were pulling Shui Xin to talk to Yuan Chun.

At this moment, Princess Chu Zhen Qing and Princess Beijing Zhen Xue asked, "Zi Yu, what happened?"

Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Mopan, and thought to himself, this is not a word yet, and he is not easy to drive people away.

"Nothing." Jia Heng said in a low voice.

Zhen Qing looked at the boy's face, her eyes lowered, guessing the reason of the matter.

Jia Heng said softly: "I have some things to do later, big sister, you can chat with the princess for a while first."

Today is the new year, so I have to meet Jinyang.

Yuan Chun looked earnestly, and said softly, "Brother Heng, let's go."

Today is such a special day, it's time for Brother Heng to see His Highness.

Jia Heng nodded without saying much, then tidied up and headed to the Princess Jinyang's mansion.

The princess mansion——

Princess Jinyang wore a red dress and sat alone on a pear wood grand teacher chair in the attic, looking at the snow scene in the courtyard, stopped her needlework for a while, turned to look at Lianxue, and asked: "Lianxue, what time is it?"

"Your Highness, it's time." Lian Xue said softly.

Princess Jinyang sighed quietly, looking at the plum blossoms in the courtyard.

Knowing that he is busy, it seems that he will not come today.

And at this moment, a female officer went up to the attic and called out: "Your Highness, the Marquis of Yongning is here."

Jia Heng was in the front yard at the moment, talking to Fu Qiufang who came out to entertain him, and said softly: "What did your brother say to you in the letter?"

Fu Qiufang looked at the young man opposite, and said: "I didn't say anything, just let me serve the eldest princess well."

In fact, the elder brother's letter said that she was asked to serve the young Marquis Wu in front of him, because he wanted her to be a concubine for the young man in front of him.

Jia Heng looked at the girl with quiet eyebrows, and said in a clear voice: "After the New Year, if there is a chance, go and see Brother Ni, he also misses you very much."

Fu Qiufang nodded, and said softly, "Your Highness has been waiting for Lord Hou for a long time."

According to her observation, the relationship between His Royal Highness the eldest princess and the young Marquis Wu in front of her is probably not as simple as that of the little princess, and she doesn't want to say much about these noble people.

Jia Heng didn't say much, got up, walked along the long corridor, the shadows projected on the green eaves and white walls of the flower wall were either long or short, and walked to the back house.

Climbing up to the attic, looking at the beauty sitting on the attic, Jia Heng called softly: "Jinyang."

Princess Jinyang turned to look at the boy, smiled lightly, and asked, "Are you done?"

Jia Heng said: "Come here to see you, have you eaten yet?"

Compared with making dumplings with Mopan and Xue'er in the mansion, Jinyang's side is indeed much more lonely.

Before Princess Jinyang could speak, Lianxue said softly, "His Royal Highness has been waiting for Lord Hou."

"Lianxue." Princess Jinyang gave Lianxue a white look, and stopped her words.

Hearing this, Jia Heng quickly approached, embraced the beauty's gradually plump waist, and said softly, "Jinyang, why don't you eat this lunch?"

"I'm not hungry." Princess Jinyang said softly.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "What will my son do if he is hungry?"

Princess Jinyang: "..."

The beauty frowned, and said shyly: "What kind of son, it's not necessarily a son or daughter."

Jia Heng said softly: "Lianxue, ask the back kitchen to make dumplings and serve them here."

Lian Xue responded in a low voice, then turned around with a smile on her face and went to work.

Princess Jinyang Yingying turned around and said with concern: "Have you eaten yet?"

Jia Heng smiled and said, "I've eaten, but I'm not full, so I'll have some more with you."

If it wasn't for worrying that it was too late, I would have to accompany Jinyang to make dumplings. Alas, I can only wait for the next New Year's Eve.

Saying that, he took the beauty's hand, sat down on the Arhat bed with the soft quilt, and said softly: "You are getting more and more calm, so don't live in this attic. It's very inconvenient to go up and down the stairs. Isn't the back house No house, live in other houses."

Princess Jinyang said softly: "It's just that when you want to be alone, it's not so boring to stand on a high place and look into the distance."

Jia Heng quietly looked at Liren's beautiful face, as if feeling a trace of loneliness, and said, "Are you alone at home?"

Princess Jinyang smiled and said: "There are some, when Yuan Chun is here, you can still talk about you, who do you like to hang out with?"

Anyway, she saw that this man liked to hug Yuanchun, and she didn't think it was too heavy, just hugging...

Also, when she was lying on Yuan Chun's back and hugging her, Yuan Chun's touch was softer and more delicate, no wonder he couldn't put it down.

Jia Heng: "..."

Jia Heng stretched out his hand to hold the slender catkin of the beauty, the touch was delicate and soft, his eyes overflowed with love, and he said softly: "Let the elder sister come over these few days, and I will spend more time talking with you."

In fact, the beauty was saying this to him tactfully, asking him to come and accompany her more often.

It can only be said that after Jin Yang became pregnant, his mentality seemed to become a little bit more feminine.

Princess Jinyang smiled sweetly and said, "Recently, you are in charge of setting up the third department in Jiangnan Province, what did you say?"

Jia Heng said: "In the next few days, there will be results. I will try not to wait until the Chinese New Year to roughly determine the officials of the third department. The officials from the former Jiangzuo chief department can't be transferred to the department."

Princess Jinyang nodded, her face paused, and she said softly: "It's fine, if you make a rash move, it will easily lead to chaos, and it will be unseemly. It's almost the Chinese New Year."

At this moment, Lianxue brought over a plate of dumplings and said softly, "Your Highness, the dumplings are ready."

Said, put it on the small table.

Jia Heng said softly, "Jinyang, let's have some dumplings."

Princess Jinyang sat down and said with a smile, "Don't tell me, I'm really hungry right now."

Jia Heng also picked up the chopsticks at this time, picked up a dumpling, chewed a mouthful, and said in a low voice, "Jinyang."

Princess Jinyang glanced at the chewing boy, smiled and said: "Since you are full, don't force yourself to eat, you will get tired of eating instead."

Jia Heng ate the dumplings and said, "Why do I get tired, I actually have a big appetite."

In the end, I faintly felt that these words were a bit weird.

The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the young man with beautiful eyes, smiled lightly, and bowed her head to take a bite without saying a word.

In fact, she also wanted to see, when would he tell her about the two sisters of the Zhen family?
At the beginning, she and the Zhen family rejected Yuan Chun's marriage obviously because of the king of Chu, and she looked like she respected the Zhen family and stayed away, but now she and the sisters of the Zhen family seem to be "good friends with Jia".

Also, she heard something from Xin Xin the day before yesterday. When her aunt and mother came over and talked frequently in the study, she was puzzled. How could there be so many things to talk about with the sisters of the Zhen family?
Jia Heng gently picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked at the gentle beauty.

Jinyang is suspicious of him, talk to Jinyang later.

He has nothing to hide from Jinyang, he has given birth to a child for himself, and he was worried that Jinyang would be surprised.

Princess Jinyang ate a few pieces of dumplings, raised her phoenix eyes, looked at the thoughtful young man, and asked, "Is there any news from the north?"

Jia Heng put down his chopsticks and said: "We have sent a spy to Chahar Mongolia, but we haven't delivered any news yet. The matter in the south needs to be settled as soon as possible."

He needs to rush there before the Lantern Festival, and then lead the troops northward to Datong and Taiyuan.

In fact, the time is still relatively rushed.

Princess Jinyang thought for a while, and looked at the young man opposite with beautiful eyes, feeling a little disappointed, and asked, "How many days after the next year?"

Jia Heng said softly: "After the second year of junior high school, here in the south of the Yangtze River, I will deliver the memorials of the officials I have inspected to the capital together."

The eldest princess of Jinyang sighed softly, and a sense of loss appeared on her crystal-clear and beautiful face.

Not to mention getting together less and leaving more, there are still foxes seducing her outside, and even when she came to Jiangnan, Yuangong didn't stay with her for a few days.

Jia Heng saw a hint of resentment in the eyebrows of the beauty Wen Ning, and took the beauty's slender hand, and said softly: "There is nothing to do these days, I will stay here to accompany you more."

The beauty gave a soft "hmm", put down her chopsticks, and leaned her head on Jia Heng's shoulder, with a smile on her soft and beautiful face, she said, "It's not that I'm clinging to you, it's because your child is fussy. sharp."

As he spoke, he gently stroked his belly with plain hands, but his face showed happiness and sweetness.

Jia Heng asked: "Have you ever seen an imperial physician?"

The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "The medical officer said that he was overthinking. Recently, he had a light diet, thought less, and slept soundly at night."

She has been thinking about him these past few days, and she is also thinking about the future of the child in the future.

Jia Heng said softly: "Then I'll sleep with you these few nights."

Anyway, when Jinyang fell asleep with him, it was very sweet.

Princess Jinyang said: "Have you finished your work over there?"

"I'm pretty busy. I was going to visit Chongmingsha's Naval Academy in the past two days, but I'm still waiting for a good show. There's no rush to go back and watch." Jia Heng smiled and said.

Princess Jinyang looked surprised and said: "What a good show?"

Jia Heng explained what had happened, and said: "The supervisors of the Guozijian want to make trouble, so as to coerce the imperial court's national policy."

"This..." Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes were condensed, she looked at the young man softly, and asked, "Do you have a countermeasure?"

Jia Heng said softly: "There are already some countermeasures, let Li Shibo go to appease at that time, in addition, the province of Anhui is first changed to the south, and then changed to the north, which can be regarded as a little bit disintegrating the grouping of scholars in Jiangnan."

Since it is a division between the north and the south, there should be some changes in the imperial examination system.

"Actually, these are trivial matters." Jia Heng said with a calm expression, "Lianxue, let the kitchen cook a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup."

You can't skip something at noon.

Lianxue answered softly, and then left gracefully.

Jia Heng said, took the hand of the beauty and came to the inner room, sat on the bed with soft bedding, looked up at the charming pair of phoenix eyes of the beauty, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I want to tell you something Son."

If Jin Yang knew about Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue, he could help him deal with it. After all, beauties had seen many such things in the palace.

Princess Jinyang looked at the young man with a half-smile, and said softly, "You can tell me so that I can hear what you have done to shock the world."

Jia Heng: "..."

"It's a long story. It starts when I came back from the battle in Henan..." Jia Heng straightened his words and began to narrate the whole story.

Under the arched eyebrows of the eldest princess of Jinyang, her phoenix eyes blinked, her pink lips were slightly pursed, and she listened intently.

Until she heard that Princess Chu Zhen Qing invited the boy in front of her to a banquet, and then gave him medicine...

"This Zhen Qing, is she scheming against her own sister? Still thinking of blackmailing you?" Princess Jinyang stood on her head with her brows upside down, her eyes were full of evil spirits, she was obviously very annoyed.

This is said to be an aphrodisiac, but what about poison?
Jia Heng said softly: "Don't get excited, she used to be a bit of a poisonous woman."

Princess Jinyang's eyes were as bright as water, she stared at the young man, she was stunned, and said in surprise: "No wonder, so the children in the womb of the two sisters are yours."

With her masculine temperament, such a threat must be like stealing a piece of chicken and throwing a stone at her own foot.

Jia Heng's expression was a little unnatural when she was looked at by the beauty, and said weakly: "I can't help myself."

"Then what happened after that?" Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes flickered as she stared at the boy, not knowing what it was like.

She said why all of a sudden the two sisters are pregnant, and the co-authors are both of her man's offspring?This is too... absurd, right?
Jia Heng pondered for a moment, and said: "Because Zhen Qing is holding on to her, I am worried that the fish will die and the net will be broken, and... Zhen Xue is really innocent, and many things are ultimately wrong."

When Zhen Qing engaged in Qingxue binding at the beginning, he was helpless.

Princess Jinyang chuckled, and said softly: "I said that the two sisters are looking for you frequently, and you did a good job."

But Jia Heng sighed and remained silent for a while.

He is actually responsible for this matter.

"Aren't you happy? Look at the one who wronged you." Princess Jinyang had a bit of amused look in her eyes, and gently grabbed the boy's hand, showing worry, and said softly: " But this kind of thing is indeed a little tricky, you can't make it public, insult the blood of the Tian family, talk about big or small things, and now you still can't handle it."

Hearing this, Jia Heng turned his eyes to look at the beautiful woman with a beautiful face, his heart was filled with emotion, and he said in a low voice, "Jinyang."

Jinyang always embraces him with her broad mind, no matter what he does.

Having a wife like this, what can a husband ask for?
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the young man with concern in her soft eyes, and said in a low voice: "However, Zhen Qing is a vicious person, you'd better be on guard. She is pregnant with your child now, and she has her own reliance. It is impossible to say that there will be more risky schemes."

Jia Heng hugged Li Ren tightly, and said softly: "I know it well."

He will educate Zhen Qing well, so that he can no longer use those low methods to deal with his family.

Princess Jinyang turned her eyes to look at the young man, sighed faintly, and said softly: "You don't know how vicious a woman is after she has a child, so that the child can have a good birth in the future. thing, you don't know."

If Zhen Qing is like this, she will not know in the future...

Jia Heng said softly: "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

Princess Jinyang leaned her head against the young man's arms, and said in a low voice, "You should also restrain yourself recently, so that no one will see any clues."

Jia Heng nodded and said "hmm".

While the couple were talking, because today is a young year, the prison students in the Guozijian dormitory have left the dormitory one after another and returned home, but under the connection of individual leaders, an undercurrent is coming. Brewing.

At this moment, in the Wutong Lane on the south side of Zhuque Street, in Fang Yaochun's mansion, where the former Imperial Academy offered wine, there was not much lively atmosphere for the New Year, only a few servants were cleaning the dust on the lintel.

The mansion is even more gloomy and gloomy.

In the hall of the back house, Fang Yaochun has been dismissed for a month or two, and now he is at home, he can only read books, play chess, express his love for the mountains and rivers, and chat for comfort.

The Fang family itself is also a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River, with tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land and dozens of shops, so there is no need to worry about eating and drinking.

And Fang Yaochun is also a Qingliu scholar, and he has many friends, disciples, and students in the same year in the Imperial College. Even if he was dismissed this time, if Jia Heng hadn't impeached him, he would be reactivated in a year or two.

Just like Jia Yucun in the original "Dream of Red Mansions", he was dismissed from office for the crime of greed, but he was reinstated after a few years. This is the officialdom.

It is not easy for the court to train an official.

Only the "double opening" of "destroying the writing since birth and never using it" is the real end of political life.

Fang Kuang, the son of Fang Yaochun, entered the house, saluted respectfully, and said, "Father."

Fang Yaochun stared at his son with surprise, and said softly, "Kuang'er, what's wrong?"

If it wasn't for offending the Marquis of Yongning because of his son's marriage with the Zhen family, he, the Imperial Academy, would not have been deposed.

Fang Kuang said: "There have been rumors in the Guozijian recently, does father know?"

Fang Kuang is now studying in the Imperial College, and he heard some trivial voices from the same year.

"What rumors?" Fang Yaochun frowned and said in a deep voice.

As the former Guozijian Jijiu, although he was dismissed, his attention still couldn't help but fall on the former Guozijian.

Fang Kuang said: "I heard Shao Xiangxian, Yang Zhou and others in the prison say in the same year that the new province of Anhui was established, and the imperial examination quota system will be changed. It is okay if it is in the northern volume. He is talented, but it is easier, but I heard that Anhui will take the middle paper, and the prison students from Taiping Mansion, Chizhou Mansion, Anqing Mansion and other places of origin in the prison are already excited, and they want to find the imperial envoy Yongninghou to give an explanation."

At the end, Fang Kuang's fair face was covered with gloom, and a flash of hatred flashed in his eyes.

That bitch Zhen Lan!He said he didn't want to be his concubine, but he followed Jia to Shenjing. Wasn't he being his concubine? !

Moreover, a conflict caused his father to lose his official position in the Imperial Academy.

When he thought of the slender-eyed, icy and pretty girl tactfully enjoying herself under others, the resentment in Fang Kuang's heart grew wildly like a poisonous weed, entangled in his heart.

Fang Yaochun frowned, put down the book in his hand, and asked, "Is this ever true?"

"All the prison students said that, saying that the court wanted to suppress the southerners." Fang Kuang said in a low voice.

Fang Yaochun was silent for a moment, and asked, "What are those prison students planning to do?"

Fang Kuang said softly: "Everyone said they were going to surround Ningguo Mansion, let Jia Heng's son give an explanation, and even deport him back to Beijing."

Fang Yaochun's complexion changed suddenly, a look of fear appeared in his eyes, and he said, "This...then Jia Heng is the governor of Jinyi. If Jinyi Tiqi is sent, what should we do?"

Fang Kuang sneered and said, "Father, if there is a bloody conflict, the child will definitely be infamous for thousands of years. These are not just one or two scholars. This time there are about two to three hundred people. If you add some spectators , about 300 people."

Fang Yaochun got up, paced back and forth, tossing and turning his mind, thinking about the reason, and said in a cold voice: "No matter what, the child's errand will be ruined at that time, even though the emperor favors him differently, he can't bear the guilt, but Children are also bound to lose their prestige!"

During the time when he was dismissed and stayed at home, he was thinking of revenge all day long, that kid was too hateful, he just had a dispute over the Zhen family matter, why was he so vicious, impeaching him to resign?
But that child was in full bloom, and the emperor listened to and believed in his flattery.

The treacherous officials are in power, and the court is corrupt!

Fang Kuang said softly: "Father can take advantage of the situation to calm people's hearts, and he will have a reputation among the scholars."

In fact, this was an idea given to him by his friend Du Ding, in order to win the hearts of scholars with a high-spirited move.

This is what heroes see and agree with.

When Shen Fang was thinking of making troubles with the help of the Imperial College, to show that he was taking the overall situation into consideration and forbearance for the country, the resourceful people also keenly noticed the joints in it.

Fang Yaochun made up his mind and said in a low voice: "Kuang'er, you go and pay attention to see when they surround the Ningguo Mansion. As a father, go and persuade the supervisor."

Back then, the Marquis of Yongning impeached him, but he ignored the previous suspicions and repaid his hatred with virtue!
Hearing this, Fang Kuang bowed his hands and said quickly, "Father, I'll go back first."
